I started to bisect the changes, but I failed to reproduce the tearing with the 2.14.0 git commit. Then I tried xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7, which surprisingly does not tear too. Even xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu6 does not tear any more.

I don't get these messages in the Xorg.log any more:
(WW) intel(0): I830DRI2GetMSC:1064 get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument
(WW) intel(0): I830DRI2ScheduleWaitMSC:1124 get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument
(WW) intel(0): first get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument

This tearing problem was probably fixed by an update of another package. I am marking this bug as invalid.
